10 Questions Meeting Planners Ask
Is the roof publicly accessible, private, or inaccessible? How big is the roof and how much can be walked on? What’s the maximum group size? What’s on the roof? Do you give tours? What learning experiences are available? Food and beverages allowed? Is it accessible for people with disabilities? How do you get up there? When is the roof blooming?
